    Enterprise is that close to the yard? That's handy to know when I quit.

    LOL

    Ya, if you are OTR for weeks at a time... No need for owning anything. And like you said, newer and better too.

    Just dropped my loaded trailer here at the West Memphis rat hole, sorry, after dealing with this garbage the last 38 years here at exit 280, I can't come up with a nice thing to call it. And if the company insists I drop a deuce in a porta potty in 96 degree oppressive heat, I got this terminal in the same category. I need to take my 10 then head over to Byhalia and grab my load to Jacksonville for Tuesday. I have home time scheduled for Wednesday, but I sent a QC message in letting them know I would do a swap Tuesday in SC and deliver it Wednesday then go home. I know, I'm greedy.

    Johnathan? Who is that? I think I've done that run. Came out of sandston? Best Buy over in WA? If so, best go ahead and reserve your parking at the TA in North Bend (I think that's the name) now. Only decent t/s around and it fills up fast.

    Ahhh ... I see. Wasn't aware there are two types of trainers. In WS orientation we had instructors (classroom) and trainers (truck). The trainers would sometimes double in the classroom if they were free but the instructors never did anything in the trucks.

    In either case, I don't have any answers yet.
